What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I mounted the XRC 1200 SPLINE rear wheel on my XC race rig and instantly felt the difference-super light, insanely responsive under power, and the Ratchet EXP 54 hub gives me that near-instant engagement I want on techy climbs. It's XC speed without sacrificing durability."Whether we're chasing podiums or KOMs, the DT Swiss XRC 1200 SPLINE 29in Rear Wheel is our go-to upgrade for next-level cross-country performance.
